Week 1: Fail Mar...Packers at Seahawks: The last time the Packers traveled to Seattle, the world was given a harsh lesson on the value of solid refereeing. The defending Super Bowl champions will have a chance to win it fair and square this time against Green Bay in the first game of their repeat championship bid. (Getty Photo/Kevin Casey)

Week 2: The Clas...Steelers at Ravens: One of the most intense rivalries in football enters a new era after both teams failed to make the playoffs last season. Maybe this time Mike Tomlin can refrain from wandering onto the field in the middle of a play. (Getty Photo/Patrick Smith)

Week 3: Jackson'...Redskins at Eagles: After kicking DeSean Jackson to the curb in the offseason, the Eagles couldn't have been happy to see him land at a division rival. Will Jackson make Chip Kelly rue the day he let his top receiver go? Will Jay Gruden bring out the best in his new Pro Bowler? Or will Jackson end up being the kind of locker room poison in Washington that got him kicked out of Philadelphia? (Getty Photo/Christian Petersen)

Week 3: Peyton's...Broncos at Seahawks: The lessons of Super Bowl XLVIII were not lost on John Elway, who went to extreme lengths to shore up his defense with the signings of Demarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib this offseason. An embarrassed Peyton Manning looks to prove that the dismantling by the Seahawks was just a fluke, while Richard Sherman and the Legion of Boom aim to show it was anything but.

Week 4: 'Blood a...Panthers at Ravens: After being unceremoniously cut loose by the Panthers, Steve Smith was asked about his inevitable return to Bank of America Stadium with a new team.

Week 7: Showdown...Jets at Patriots: Seeing the Patriots coming up on the Jets' schedule has to have Rex Ryan reaching for the Rolaids. He's going to need a bigger bottle this season now that Bill Belichick has a new toy, former Jet Darrelle Revis. Michael Vick and Chris Johnson better get ready to run, because New York's passing game will be out of business that day. (AP Photo/Bob Leverone)

Week 9: Manning-...Broncos at Patriots: The annual must-watch event gets some added drama this year in the wake of last season's AFC Championship Game. Manning is patched together by steel plates, Brady will turn 37 before the season starts – there aren't many more of these left. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)

Week 13: Thanksg...Thanksgiving Day will be extra-delicious this year for NFC fans. It's one of the best Turkey Day lineups in years, with not a dud in the bunch. First is an NFC North showdown between the Bears and Lions, followed by the Eagles marching into Jerry's World to face the Cowboys. Dessert is the first meeting of the season between the Seahawks and 49ers. Don't expect Richard Sherman and Michael Crabtree to kiss and make up. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

Week 14: Meeting...Seahawks at Eagles: For two guys whose approaches to football will supposedly never work at the next level, Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly sure found a way to ignite the league. Nick Foles, LeSean McCoy and the Eagles' high-speed offense versus Seattle's bullying Legion of Boom? Sign me up. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
